Setting IP parameters for the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series 49assigned to the field by a BootP request. These fields are outlinedthe following table.IP Configuration fieldsField DescriptionIn-Band Stack IPAddressThe IP address used by the switch when it is partof a stack.In-Band SwitchIP AddressThe IP address used by the switch when it is astandalone unit.In-Band SubnetMaskThe subnet mask used by the switch.Default Gateway The default gateway used by the switch.6 Click Apply.—End—Setting IP parameters using the UI buttonIP parameters can also be set by using the front panel User Interface (UI)button. This allows for switch configuration without the need for a Consoleconnection.Depending on the state of the switch, applying IP parameters in this mannerwill result in either the parameters being applied to the switch itself or toa switch stack. When the unit is in a stack, the UI button on any unit ofthe stack can be used to set the IP parameters. Ensure however thatperforming this procedure does not result in duplicate IP addresses on thenetwork. If the default IP configuration is set, any change to the configuredIP address or subnet mask through the other user interfaces will cause theIn-Use IP configuration of the switch or stack to change. Therefore, thenewly configured IP address must be used to manage the switch or stack.If the unit is being reset using the UI button, wait for 60 seconds after thelast configuration change. The system takes up to 60 seconds to save theconfiguration changes to NVRAM.The stack can be reset immediately after changing the configuration byusing the UI button without losing any of the changed configuration.Note 1: The UI button may be used at any time to change the In-UseIP address and subnet mask of the switch. It overrides the currentIn-Use IP address and subnet mask, if any, regardless of the BootPmode settings for the switch or stack.Note 2: If there is a change in the switch state, that is, if it joins orleaves a stack after the default IP configuration is set, the In-Use IPconfiguration will change, and must be set again using the UI button.Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 SeriesInstallationNN47200-300 2.00 Standard5.0 7 July 2006Copyright © 2005 - 2006, Nortel Networks Nortel Networks Confidential.
